To increase opportunities for physical activity, the Pennsylvania Department of Health has partnered with the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health Center for Public Health Practice to create a network of fun, fact-filled, community-based walking routes and walking groups. WalkWorks:  

- Identifies and promotes safe walking routes;

- Offers social support through guided, community-based walking groups;

- Helps schools develop walk-to-school programs; and

- Addresses local policies to increase safe walking routes.

If you are interested in joining a walking group in Windber Borough or currently belong to a walking group or other organization that is looking for a place to walk and engage in regular physical activity, please email mgt8181@hotmail.com or windberrec@gmail.com.
